If you like something heavily woody, hinoki by CDG is beautiful and is very much just a solid wood scent. Floriental is a sweeter woody scent if you’re open to sweet. Dior poisonous is warm and sweet sort of in a rootbeer gourmand way, but has rosewood, musk, and sandalwood. Smell that one first if you can just in case. Fleur De Peau and La Papier by Diptyque as well as Studied by Liis are all very similar to Glossier You if you like those paper-y skin like scents. I’d say Liis is a more intense twin of You but they’re all similar. I haven’t smelled Piano Santal by L’Orchestre Parfum but I’d look into the notes. They may intrigue you. I plan on sampling soon. If you ever want a beautifully warm and cozy gourmand, check out Winter of 99 by Kerosene. Smells like nutmeg and has a bit of wood and vanilla. Cozy and warm but imo, not nauseatingly sweet like many gourmands.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

I haven't been in NYC for that long but I've found that the well for film in NYC is pretty deep and you can really find anything you are looking for on a given night. Obscure, Foreign, Indie, Cult Classic, whatever.
Screen Slate is a good resource to find whats playing where all around the city.
I would also suggest following a lot of the theaters on ig and they will have posts about showings that might pique your interest.
Spectacle and Film Noir are pretty cool screening rooms in BK that are pretty low key and DIY if you are looking for an interesting night out.
Finally, getting a membership to metrograph, ifc or film forum is a good option if you go to one of them and like it. Reduced prices go along way if you are going to a theater pretty frequently.

Using your lungs for good and bad. Cancelling out the smoke with cardio. The bliss of a cigarette while walking through a big city in the fairly cold weather is an experience I can only describe as joyous and freeing.
